AI (artificial intelligence) spending is about to hit $1.5 trillion in 2025, and this is just the beginning. Gartner projects global AI investment will soar past $2 trillion in 2026.
Where is all this cash flowing?
- AI infrastructure
- AI application software
- Gen AI models and AI-enabled devices
Why is adoption exploding?
- Enterprises and hyperscalers need higher compute power.
- Embedding AI features into everyday products makes it harder to opt out—devices are becoming enabled by default.
- Venture capital and AI cloud providers are accelerating both innovation and deployment.
Looking to the future, we will continue to see the rise of AI. Next time you pull out your phone, buy software, or use a cloud service—ask: Is what I’m using powered by AI (and who is paying for it)?
Do you believe all the hype and growth predictions are accurate? Will we see this level of growth in the next year? How can we prepare for it?
